City Networks

City networks and projects ensure that Berlin has close ties to
the metropolitan regions and cities of Europe and the rest of
the world. These city networks give Berlin a platform for the
constant exchange of ideas and experience and for
project-related cooperation between cities and metropolitan
regions. The focus here is on issues that pose special
challenges for these regions and cities at the beginning of the
21st century: climate change, the economy, science, culture,
urban development, and social integration.
